What He Should Do.

What had young man better do
about the drink question? Better
never taste nor touch the article as
long as the world stands. He had
better talk against it. He had better
not be wavering but settled, have. his
mind made up and be ready to resist
every temptation, and SO not get into
the mire on the subject. A few glasses
seal mans life on that question; a
few bouts with drinking companions
change ones whole influence from pos
tive to negative, without his intend
ing it. 1t is better to fix on solid
foundations from the beginning. Why?
What are strong reasons? Because it
is an expensive habit. 1t eats up time
and clothes and good books, 1t swal-
lows farms, and factories, and whole
business houses Saying the least, it
puts great deal of money to the low
est and poorest use, and robs one of
better things. 1t is a destroyer of
health, is master of time 1t takes
away the elastic step and fine man
hood, it brings man down, as viper
fastening on the breast of an eagle
takes him out ofsthe sky, and at length
he falls wounded and dead. 1t leads
into bad company. 1t will never fail
to find its own kind of railers and &C
cusers and swearers. 1t degrades a
good name and blights a fair life,
taking away hope and courage. 1t
disfgures and defiles the man. An old
Soaker is .hideous sight, but he was a
comedy and clean young man once.
A sot is a wen on the neck of society,
a scab on the body polite, but he was
a beautiful man to start with. t.'

SWEET THOUGHTs

We often meet with selections of sublime
and beautiful thoughts suggested by the
Bible, infinitely more precious than the
choicest creations of genius.
How sweet the thought that Jesus SYM
pathizes with all our joys and sorrows .
The great demand of human nature is the
demand for sympathy. Men must have it,
or they cannOt-be happy, however extensive
their possessions or high their rank. But
how little sympathy is to be found among
men! How precious the thought that our
Saviour sympatliZes with every Joy and
every sorrow? Christian, do you sometimes
feel that you are alone, and that there are
none who care for you? You are mistaken.
You forget that Jesus is ever at your side :;
that he approves every falling tear and
feels for love and sympathy that no finite
mind can measure. -#..--.
How sweet the thought that God resgns.
The nations are perpleXed and troubled,
